Valentine's Day Travel: How the Top Ten Romantic Cities In Europe Score

It's almost Valentine's Day, and that means it's time for romance.

The folks at Ubuy.com looked at TripAdvisor data to score each European capital city for romance. The criteria included the number of fine dining restaurants, five-star hotels, and romantic tours. A romantic tour only gets one point, the same as a five-star hotel. Here's the list.
